How do you select items below other items?

In InDesign, you hold CTRL as you click to select an object underneith another object. I would assume you can do the same thing with Illustrator (CS3), whats the function to do this?

>I would assume you can do the same thing with Illustrator...
I would never make that assumption. For all the lip service Adobe pays to inter-application interface consistency, the reality would suggest the various product divisions do not talk to each other.
I can't tell you about any new features incorporated in AI 13 (CS3), but in previous versions, one hits Ctrl+2 to lock an object, enabling easier selection of an underlying object.
Sadly, there is no way to unlock an individual object. Alt+Ctrl+2 unlocks all locked objects.
Closely allied is another useful feature -- hide selection (Ctrl+3).

    How do you select and move more than one bookmark at a time?
    Shift+Click does not select multiple items that are next to one another in a list because the items open in firefox before this happens.

    Use the bookmarks library. You may use Shift +Click, and Ctrl + Click to create groupings of selected bookmarks to drag and drop.
    * one method of opening the bookmarks library is keyboard shortcut <br /> Ctrl+Shift+B (Windows)

    In list or column view, click the item at one end of the range and then shift-click the item at the other end.
    In icon view, click on an empty part of the window and drag to select them.

  • How do you remove items from the assets panel that are duplicated?

    How do you remove items from the assets panel that are duplicated?

    If you add an item to a slideshow, you'll usually see 2 entries for that image in the assets panel - one represents the thumbnail, and the other represents the larger 'hero' image.
    It sounds like you may have added the same image to your slideshow twice. You can select one of the hero images or thumbnail images in your slideshow and use the delete key to remove it. Then the extra 2 entries in the assets panel should disappear.

    How do you select a sub-set of cells from the entire document so you can print only those specific cells?

    There is no analog to MS Excels print range.  So the next best thing is to plan your data so that you don't need to use print range.  The next best thing after that is to select the range of cells you want to print, then copy, the switch to the application Preview, and create a new document from the clipboard (select the menu item "File > New from Clibboard") then select all, copy then paste to the destination (maybe an email) .
    You can also paste that portion of the table into another table (or a new table) by pasting values only

  • How do you select multiple files to drag

    How do you select multiple files to drag from one folder to another? Is there a command?

    Open the folder which has the contents you want to transfer.  Press COMMAND 'A' and then all of the data should be highlited in blue.  Drag it to the new folder.
    If only certain files are to be transferred, then you have to select them (COMMAND 'A')  individually and the drag them as a group to the new location.

  • How do you select multiple messages/conversations on SMS/MMS to forward or save to memory card on Samsung Stratosphere?

    How do you select multiple messages/conversations on SMS/MMS to forward or save to memory card on Samsung Stratosphere? 
    My screen is cracked and I need to replace my phone and I don't see a way of selecting multiple messages or even conversations one at a time to forward them to email or to save them to a memory card.  I can delete thread but can't forward it or move it.  Is there a setting somewhere that will move the storage location for messages to the memory card instead of internal?
    If not, any suggestions on backup apps?  I have heard of Txtract to back up SMS and MMS messages, and Titanium Backup to back up everything (SMS, MMS, apps, app data...).  Anyone have any experience with those, or other suggestions?
    Thanks!
